1 LAUREL HOUSE Holme Marsh HR5 3JS

2 Laurel House Holme Marsh Herefordshire HR5 3JS A unique, energy efficient architect designed four-bedroom house, forming part of this small rural hamlet in north west Herefordshire. Guide Price 399,950 Situation and Description Laurel House forms part of a cluster of individual properties, surrounded by farmland, on the edge of the larger village of Lyonshall. Local services are available at the thriving and ever popular market town of Kington (4 miles) or at the nearby villages of Almeley, Weobley and Pembridge. The cathedral city of Hereford is also within easy striking distance and offers an extensive range of facilities, together with road and rail links to other parts of the country. This interesting and very individual house started life as a small traditional cottage but has been greatly extended to create an architect inspired contemporary home, which centres on a large glazed and vaulted living area which makes the most of the property s south facing position. A great deal of thought has gone into the general design of the house, with an emphasis on renewable energy with a ground source heat pump providing both heating and hot water. The gardens are well-enclosed on all sides, again well designed, and there is ample off-road parking, as well as a detached timber outbuilding which provides garaging, workshop and studio space, if required. On arrival a front door leads into an entrance hall with built-in cupboards, one of which houses the central heating and hot water system. There is a separate ground floor wetroom, with all the usual fittings. The hall leads into the central living area, which is full of light and space, with a slate tiled floor, high vaulted glazed ceiling, bi-fold doors leading out to the gardens and an attractive open-tread spiral staircase that rises to a galleried landing. There is a more traditional sitting room with oak flooring and two sets of double-glazed doors, that again lead out to the gardens and, for those chillier nights, a freestanding wood burner. From the living space glazed doors leads through into a modern kitchen with adjoining dining area, which is ideal for entertaining, with a white two-tone tiled floor and an excellent range of fitted cupboards and drawers. There is four ring gas hob with extractor, built-in fridge and freezer, work station with fitted cupboards, dishwasher space and much more. This is supported by a good-sized utility room with a door to outside. There is a generous study, which was once part of the original cottage, and creates a quiet area away from the main hub of the house. A spiral staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing, again flooded with light and from here access can be gained to a master bedroom suite, with double doors at one end leading, opening inwards, to create a balcony overlooking the gardens. There are plenty of fitted wardrobes as well as a comfortable en-suite wet room. There are three further good bedrooms, all supported by a family bathroom. The property is approached from the small village lane by its own driveway, which provides parking and turning space for several cars. This leads to a small timber barn, which provides enclosed storage, garaging, a workshop and cloakroom with studio above and offers the potential for further improvement for conversion, if required and subject to approval. The gardens form a particular feature of Laurel House and in the main lie on the southern side of the house and are well enclosed on all sides with a formal lawn area as well as a central pergola, large circular paved area leading from the house, wildflower garden, a variety of trees, woodstore and much more.
